Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a binding method for creating a bound form from a plurality of consecutive forms in which unit forms are connected, each having a transport hole at the end. This relates to a method of creating a form.

[Prior Art] A conventional method for creating a bound form is to produce a continuous form for copying consisting of a plurality of sheets. For example, as shown in FIG. A tractor 4 pulls out a plurality of continuous forms 3 in which each unit form 2 is printed in the same way for each form, and superimposes each unit form 2 through the transport hole 1 so as not to shift.
While transporting the documents, the glue units 5, 5 apply adhesive to the predetermined positions of the overlapping surfaces, and the predetermined portions are stapled together.Furthermore, the perforation roller 6 binds each unit form 2. Collation device 1 manufactured by providing perforations 7 for folding and separating
A method of creating a bound form using 0 is known.

In this collating device 10, since the printing of adjacent unit forms are all the same, a plurality of continuous forms 3 to be collated are pulled out, and the transfer pinholes 1 provided on both sides of each continuous form 3 are overlapped and the sheets are stacked together. Once set on the overlapping tractor 4 of the combining device 10, continuous forms for copying 9 can be manufactured without shifting, and are manufactured by a manufacturer of continuous forms.

By the way, the above-mentioned continuous form 9 for copying generally requires an impact printer to apply printing pressure to make a copy in order to print out information on a unit form. Non-impact printers cannot make copies, and these printers have the disadvantage that they cannot be used.

For this reason, multiple sheets are stitched together using a non-impact printer, and in order to obtain a duplicate continuous form for secondary entry, information is printed out separately for the multiple continuous forms, and then these multiple continuous sheets are printed out separately. It was suggested that the documents be collated.

However, in order to make the printer correspond to the information on the unit form of each continuous form for each continuous form, it is difficult to print out the information on the unit form of each continuous form in a fixed order, but due to mechanical characteristics and operational convenience. There is a skipped part in the middle of the printout, so it rarely happens that each unit form is printed out with a page break, and this part of the page break is mostly for printing out each continuous form. There are different types for each case, and when collating work is done using the traditional method of creating a binding form,
Avoid matching mistakes, such as collating parts where information is not printed out and parts where information is printed out during collation, resulting in unit forms that should be stacked one above the other being misaligned and collated. There were some inconveniences such as not being able to do so.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In view of these points, the present invention has a transfer hole at the end, and separates a plurality of continuous forms connected by separation perforations for each unit into other continuous forms. When collating the plurality of continuous forms in which information is printed out in the order corresponding to the forms, in correspondence with each unit form, if a matching error occurs, the device is stopped and the defective form is easily removed. The object of the present invention is to provide an extremely efficient method of creating a stitched form that can be removed and that can perform superimposed stitching operations that are extremely simple to operate.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the method for creating a stitched form of the present invention separately separates a plurality of continuous forms each having a transfer hole at the end and connecting unit forms. , print out on a unit form, in the order corresponding to the other continuous form, the information corresponding to the unit form of the other continuous form, as well as the superimposition compatible symbol or corresponding mark, etc. that corresponds to the unit form of the other continuous form. Step: In a form creation method in which the plurality of printed continuous forms are overlapped and stitched, a transfer passage for each continuous form is provided independently, and the above-mentioned superimposition corresponding symbol or corresponding mark is respectively provided at a predetermined position within this transfer passage. A process of detecting and collating the timing of reading etc. by a detection mechanism that ends before overlapping other unit forms to stitch them together, and a tractor that overlaps each continuous form using a transport hole for each corresponding unit form. The method includes a step of overlapping a plurality of continuous forms by using a superimposing tractor, and a step of stitching together a plurality of continuous forms that have been overlapped by a superimposing tractor, and then a step of cutting the continuous forms that have been overlapped and stitched into unit forms. be.

[Effect] In order to prevent matching errors,
The process of printing out a superimposition compatible symbol or mark, etc. for each unit form that corresponds to other continuous forms together with the form information in the order corresponding to other continuous forms, and the transport path of each continuous form. By having a process that is installed independently and that detects and collates the corresponding symbols or marks of each corresponding form with a detection mechanism before superimposing them at a predetermined position in the transfer path, if a matching error occurs, it can be recognized as a mismatch. It can be easily detected before stacking and binding, and since it is not superimposed on other continuous documents, mismatching defective documents can be removed very easily, and mismatching can be quickly processed.

[Example] Next, an example of the method for creating a bound form according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows continuous forms 11A, 11B, 11C, and 11A, 11B, 11C, for creating a multi-page stitched form for secondary entry by the method for preparing a stitched form of the present invention.
This shows a part of 11D, and these continuous forms 11
is formed by connecting each unit form 14 having a marginal part 13 with transfer holes 12 on both sides at a separation perforation 15, and at a predetermined position on the front and back of the part overlapped with another continuous form 11. , a pressure-sensitive adhesive 16 that does not adhere under normal conditions is applied. Further, a secondary entry section 17 is provided at a predetermined position on the surface of each unit form 14, and a dye-containing capsule is applied to the back side of this secondary entry section 17, and the surface of the secondary entry section 17 is colored. material is applied. These continuous forms 11 are printed in advance using a non-impact printer (not shown) for each adjacent unit form, leaving a secondary entry section 17 and a predetermined section in the order corresponding to the other continuous forms 11 for each continuous form 11. Different information is printed out. In this process, as shown in FIG. 2, a verification mark 20 is also printed out at a predetermined position for each unit form 14 as a superimposition compatible symbol or mark for matching with other continuous forms 11 in overlapping matching. be done.

This collation mark 20 is a mark that is printed out on all unit forms 14 to be printed out, and includes a blank detection mark 19 that detects blank unit forms that are not printed out, and each unit form of other continuous forms 11. 14 and a matching detection mark 18 consisting of 5 bits for detecting a matching error in the corresponding overlay.

FIG. 3 shows a collating device 21 and a cutting device 51 used in the binding form creation method of the present invention.
This is to explain the state of use of the combination device 21, which combines multiple continuous forms 11 into individual continuous forms
Pull-out tractors 22, 22, 22, 22 for each of A, 11B, 11C, and 11D, and respective continuous forms 11A, 11B, 11C, and 11 pulled out by these pull-out tractors 22, 22, 22, and 22.
Unit forms 14A, 14B, 14C, corresponding to D
A superimposing tractor 23 is used to superimpose the plurality of continuous forms 11 superimposed by the superimposing tractor 23 through the transfer hole 12 every 14D, and a predetermined position of the overlapped parts of these continuous forms 11 is coated in advance. pressure sensitive adhesive 16
Pressure roller 2 for binding with the following adhesive conditions
A binding mechanism 25 consisting of 4 and 24 is provided in this order.

In the above, the extractor tractors 22, 22,
22, 22 are arranged separated in a stepwise manner, and the distance of the transport path for each continuous form 11 connecting each pull-out tractor 22 and overlapping tractor 23 is made equal through the guides 31 of the isolation path and the slack path. . A guide G for positioning the leading end of the continuous form 11 for setting the continuous form 11 is provided at the front part of the pull-out tractor 22.
Further, a mark sensor 26 for detecting a collation mark 20 attached to the continuous form 11 is provided at the front end of each pull-out tractor 22.
A leading edge detection sensor 27 for detecting the leading edge of the continuous form 11 is provided at the front of the continuous form 11, and these sensors constitute a detection mechanism 28. Further, a collation mechanism 29 is provided to collate the respective detection signals detected by the detection mechanism 28 to prevent matching mistakes in continuous forms. The collating device is configured to stop when the final end of each continuous form 11 is detected by a form end sensor 30 that detects the final end of each continuous form 11.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory circuit diagram of one embodiment of the collation mechanism 29. Numeral 32 is an encoder for counting the amount of conveyance of the continuous form 11, and is synchronized with each extractor tractor 22 to generate a pulse signal. 33
are the leading edge detection signal input portions of the continuous form 11 grounded to the respective leading edge detection sensors 27, 42, 43, 44,
Reference numeral 45 indicates a signal input unit for the blank paper detection mark 19 and collation detection mark 20 connected to each mark sensor 26, and 46 indicates each form end sensor 30.
The final end detection signal input section 47 of the continuous form 11 connected to the collating device 21 by the collating mechanism 29
This is the reset switch when the system is stopped.

Although the collating device 21 is configured as described above, the collated plural-sheet continuous form 110 is further transported at a speed synchronized with the transporting speed of the collating device 21 at the subsequent stage of the collating device 21. It is used by connecting a cutting device 51 as a cutting process for cutting each unit form while transporting it,
This cutting device 51 is constructed by sequentially providing a transporting tractor 52, a slitter 53 for cutting off the marginal portion 13 of the continuous form 11, a feeding roller 54, a blade 55, and a tension roller 56 that rotates faster than the feeding roller 54. ing. 57 is a delivery stacker.

Incidentally, in order to equalize the transport path distances of the continuous forms connecting each of the pull-out tractors 22 and the overlapping tractor 23, it is not necessary to set the positions of the plural pull-out tractors 22 as shown in FIG. However, it is sufficient that the distances of the transport paths for the continuous forms 11 to be transported from the respective pull-out tractors 22 to the stacking tractor 23 can be set to be substantially equal, and for this purpose, transport rollers or various feed guides may be provided between the transport paths. It is something that cannot be avoided.

Furthermore, the binding mechanism 25 provided at the rear stage of the stacking tractor 23 is not limited to the embodiment shown in FIG. or a binding mechanism such as staple binding.

Next, the usage status of the collating device 21 and the cutting device 51 will be explained based on the assumption that a multi-sheet binding form 140 for secondary entry is created using the continuous form 11 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, pull out the continuous forms 11A, 11B, 11C, and 11D that have been printed out separately in advance, pull out the transfer holes 12 on both sides, set them on the tractor 22, and guide the tip of each continuous form 11. Set according to G. Next, when the collating device 21 is driven, the pull-out tractor 2
2 is driven at some point. Then, a plurality of continuous forms 11 are pulled out and passed through the transfer guide 31, and when they reach the overlapping tractor 23, the feeding of the pull-out tractor 22 is temporarily stopped, and each unit form 14 of each continuous form 11 is aligned vertically. The transport holes 12 on both sides are overlapped, and the tractor 23
Set to . Then, when the collating device 21 is driven again, the plurality of continuous forms 11 stacked together by the stacking tractor 23 reach the binding mechanism 25, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive 16 that has been applied to predetermined parts of the continuous forms 11 in advance is applied to the binding mechanism 25. Adhesion conditions are applied by pressure rollers 24, 24, and the plurality of continuous forms 11 are stitched together at predetermined locations. Then, when it reaches the transport tractor 52 of the cutting device 51 in the latter stage, the collating device 21 is stopped again, and the transport hole 12 of the stitched continuous form 110 is set in the transport tractor 52 and collated again. By driving the device 21 and the cutting device 51, the unnecessary marginal portion 13 of the stitched continuous form 110 is cut off, and it is further torn through the tear-off perforations 15 to form a stitched continuous form 140 into multiple sheets for secondary entry. is created.

Next, the operation of the verification mechanism 29 in the above-mentioned verification process will be explained.
When each continuous form 11 is set at a predetermined position and the collating device 21 is driven, the leading edge of each continuous form 11 reaches the leading edge detection sensor 27, and a leading edge detection signal is inputted to the leading edge detection signal input section 33. . When this leading edge detection signal is input, as shown in FIG. The pulse signal from the encoder 32 is received. Then, as the pulse signal of the encoder 32 changes, the main counter 34 sends data to the collation mark area control unit 37 via the ROM, which stores data that differs depending on the vertical width of the unit form 14 to be processed in advance and the printing position 18. , verification timing control section 38, blank paper detection mark area control section 3
5. It issues signals to the blank paper detection timing control section 36, and also issues a shift signal for reset to each flip-flop circuit 39, 40.

A blank page detection mark 19 is attached to each unit form 14 on which information is printed out, and if a detection signal can be detected from all four unit forms 14 superimposed by each mark sensor 26, the blank sheet detection mark 19 is marked. No signal flows to the circuit and the OR circuit does not operate. Therefore, if all or part of the blank unit form 14 on which information has not been printed out exists, the verification mechanism 29 issues a stop signal.
Further, the matching detection hook 18 detects and matches whether or not the marks to be superimposed are the same. Therefore, if there is an abnormality in the matching of the overlapping unit forms 14, the matching mechanism 29 issues a stop signal. For example, the unit forms 14A, 1 in the portions sandwiched between dotted lines l-m and no-o shown in FIG.
When 4B, 14C, and 14D are superimposed, the timing chart shown in the circuit diagram of the matching mechanism in FIG. 4 is expressed as in the explanatory diagram shown in FIG.

In the above, in the case of l-m, the unit form 14
B is not printed out, and accordingly, the blank paper detection mark ₁₉ of the collation mark 20 is also not printed out. When the signal is issued, the mark area is opened and the flip-flop circuit 40 is opened.
FF ₆ Q issues a blank page detection signal with no printing. When the main counter 34 issues a blank page timing signal _D1 to the blank page detection timing control section 36, the stop flip-flop circuit 41 issues a stop signal.

In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned no-no, unit report 14
Information is printed out for A, 14B, 14C, and 14D, but unit forms 14A and 14
In contrast to C and 14D, 14B is not a unit form to be superimposed, but the verification detection mark 18 of the verification mark 20 is also different. Therefore, the timing chart shown in FIG. 5 has all the blank paper detection marks 19, and at this point, no stop signal is generated from the stop flip-flop circuit 41 described above. Then, when the mark area timing signal _D2 is divided into 5 bits of the collation detection mark 18 and sequentially issued from the main counter 34 to the collation mark area control section 37, the mark areas are sequentially opened accordingly. On the other hand, the main counter 34 sequentially issues a verification timing signal _D3 to the verification timing control section 38, but the presence of marks is detected in all the first bits, and when the same signal is issued from the flip-flop circuit 39,
The verification circuit also determines that they are the same. Then, after the reset signal _D4 is sent from the main counter 34 to the flip-flop circuit 39, when the verification circuit similarly judges the second bit, 14B is unmarked among the unit forms 14A, 14C, and 14D, so verification is detected. When it is determined that the mark 18 is different, the stop flip-flop circuit 41 issues a stop signal.

In addition, even if any of the continuous forms 11 to be overlapped disappears, the final end detection signal of the form end sensor 30 is inputted from the signal input section 38 to the collating device 2.
1 is designed to stop.

If the collation operation is stopped by the collation mechanism 29 including the form end sensor 30, the reset switch 47 can be pressed to restart the collation operation.

In this way, when any matching abnormality is detected, the collating device 21 stops. At that time, each mark sensor 26 is provided at the front end of the pull-out tractor, so that the collating device 21 stops when a matching abnormality is detected. Normal unit report 1 in the previous stage
The perforation 15 for separation from the pull-out tractor 22 is stopped on the pull-out tractor 22 or at its front end.
The blank sheet or the unit form with the matching abnormality may be removed, the cut-off perforation 15 portions may be connected with tape or the like, and the collation operation may be started again.

Note that the collation marks for each unit form of each continuous form used in this invention are not limited to the form and number described above, but may be different for each adjacent unit form in the same continuous form, or may be made for other units that are overlapped. It is sufficient that the information is printed out in a manner that matches the form.

Furthermore, it is important that the unit forms of each continuous form have the same transport direction (vertical width) in the continuous form, but the size (width) in the direction perpendicular to the transport direction may be different as necessary. In this case, the stacked continuous forms may be transported using one of the stacking tractors and the transporting tractor of the cutting device.

Furthermore, before printing out information around the overlapping surfaces of each continuous form, we apply pressure-sensitive adhesive, heat-sensitive adhesive, etc. in a U-shape, and create opening perforations on the inside of the adhesive. You can also use a set of continuous forms, and print out the address and verification mark on each unit form of the continuous form that is the upper part of the continuous form, and print out each unit form of the continuous form that is the bottom part of the continuous form. By printing out the address of the unit form, the notification information corresponding to the verification mark, and the verification mark, and applying adhesive conditions such as heat and pressure to the stacked continuous forms in the overlap stitching process using the creation method of this invention, the address can be printed out. A desired number of notification envelopes (sealed letters) with matching notification information can be easily created.

[Effects] As explained above, according to the present invention, the collation step in which the detection mechanism detects and collates the overlapping corresponding symbol or corresponding mark of continuous forms in a continuous state in the preceding stage of the overlapping binding step is as follows: Since the transfer path for each continuous form is carried out at a predetermined position in an independently provided path, mismatched forms during stitching can be easily removed as they are in the independent transfer path before stacking. Moreover, the collating device, cutting device, etc. used can be quickly stopped, and the work of creating a bound form can be performed extremely efficiently.
